Hi. Yes, you can absolutely get a HECM loan with your grandson living in the home with you. As long as he is not on title to the property, his presence does not have any impact on your qualifications for the loan. I specialize in FHA reverse mortgage loans in Texas. Call me or e-mail if you would like more details or a HECM quote. Gil Barteau 214-360-9991 gbarteau@americashloans.com

In a reverse mortgage, all "owners" must be 62 years old or older. The age of the occupants does not factor into the qualification, only the age of the owners. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona (AZLO0911876 / AZBK0902429), Washington (WALO40586 / WACL3087) and California (CADOC40586 / CAFLL6036566).

Sorry, William Acres, on August 4, 2014 , the program was changed to allow for a spouse as young as 18 years of age. The line of credit option may be your best choice. Younger members of the household are not a problem.

Yes you can still do a reverse mortgage. As of Aug 1 2014 only one borrower needs to be 62. However the amount of funds available will be based on the younger age. If you have additional questions please call me, Gloria Connelly 714 6550486 NMLS 241475, gconnelly@afncorp.com

A couple other people who answered your question stated correctly. Earlier this year the rules change, and only one borrower --one owner has to be 62 years or older to obtain a HECM. Open Mortgage is headquartered in Austin, TX, and the CEO of the company just published a book all about reverse mortgages. Open Mortgage has their own reverse mortgage divsion to help any borrower throughout the entire process.
